Faculty Reading for Summer 2018.

This year, everyone will read the same book.

Over the course of a 3-month solo road trip across the United States, author Grant Lichtman visited more than 60 schools and discovered that there is much to be positive about in today's K-12 schools.

With examples from around the country, including independent, charter, and public schools, and findings from the latest education research, #EdJourney maps out how administrators and teachers can embrace the innovation process that schools and learners need now.

What your colleagues are saying about this book:

"I like the second part of the book the best (starting on p. 99), so I would recommend starting there. This section includes stories of how different schools are trying new things to transform learning, and sparked a lot of ideas of how I might make changes in my own teaching" -Kathy Johnson

"Since the book has three sections, I recommend starting with the introduction because it explains the content and how it is organized. From there, I suggest choosing the section that seems most interesting to read first." -Michelle Dolan

"I suggest reading carefully the "Reflection" at the end of each chapter (and maybe consider reading the Reflection first and then starting at the beginning of the chapter)." -Beau Poppen-Abajian

"Don't put off opening this book until the end of the summer! You're going to want the time to soak in the stories. Feel free to jump around in the book and definitely read the intro as well as the reflections at the end of each chapter." -Meg Kiley

"Reading #EdJourney is like going on a tour of schools who have similar constraints and similar aspirations all over the country. It is filled with the dilemmas and opportunities that we share, which gives them context, and provides a framework through which to imagine possibilities at big and small scales." -Allison Gaines Pell
